Handle: laminated wood with Birch and Aspen layers to provide consistent flex and solid feel.Paddle: Special pre-laminated hard composite is bonded to the stick for exceptional strength and rigidity.Blade: high temperature molded special epoxy resin with hard laminate composite inserts on front and back of blade. The result is a stronger, more duable blade that will limit blade flex while shooting for stronger, more accurate performance. Reinforced heel with ABS plastic insert bonded to the foam core that prevents heel splitting and increases durability. * Available in paddle lengths 24, 25, 26 and 27. Vaughn 7800 Paddle Measurement Listed Size TG True Size 27 28.25 26 27.25 25 26.25 The TG TRUE SIZE paddle measurement method was created to make ordering goalie sticks online easier, and more accurate. As each manufacturer measures their sticks in their own unique way, we created this method to help you compare your stick at home with the models that we have in our inventory. By knowing how your current stick size compares to the stick that you're looking to purchase, you can make the best purchasing decision possible.To measure your current stick, place the end of the tape measurer at the point where the top of the paddle meets the shaft of the stick on the non-blade side. Then, measure down the paddle in a straight line until the tape measurer crosses the bottom of the blade to determine the TG True paddle size. Keep in mind that this measurement may vary depending on the blade pattern, but it will help you choose the most comparable size.

Over the last 3 years, I've been searching for a cost effective/durable composite goal stick. After multiple purchases and just as many disappointments, I decided to go back to foam.

The Vaughn 7800 has lasted 8 games (and counting). The weight is a bit more than compo sticks, but it is something I quickly adjusted to. Not as much umph when clearing the puck. That being said, the feel of this stick is much better, the durability is incomparable, and this positive experience means I will not be going back to compo goal sticks.
